The 2026 Grammy Awards aired live on CBS from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and are available to stream on Paramount+
Abracadabra! The 2026 Grammy Awards gathered a group of golden winners at a ceremony rife with swag before the rising of the midnight sun.
The festivities kicked off Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where a stacked roster of nominees competed for top awards of the evening at the Trevor Noah-hosted show.
Ahead of his Super Bowl LX performance next weekend, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny made history at the Grammys, where his 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos became the first Latin LP to win Album of the Year in the Recording Academy’s 68-year history.
The 31-year-old appeared visibly stunned by the honor, as he sat with his head in his hand for a prolonged period after his name was read at the end of the ceremony — earlier during which he called out the United States government as he accepted his trophy for Best Música Urbana Album.
“ICE out,” he said, stopping to allow the audience to applaud his words about the controversial U.S. immigration agency, officers from which have shot and killed two Minnesota citizens in recent weeks. “We’re not savage. We’re not animals. We’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”
Upon accepting Album of the Year, Bad Bunny mostly spoke in Spanish, before saying in English, “I want to dedicate this award to all the people that had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams.”

Other big winners throughout the evening included rapper Kendrick Lamar, who, alongside collaborator SZA, won Record of the Year for their 2024 song “Luther,” which they accepted from Cher after a series of comical mishaps on the Oscar-winning Moonstruck actress’ part.
Song of the Year went to multi-winning recording artist Billie Eilish‘s Hit Me Hard and Soft album cut “Wildflower,” while Lady Gaga won Best Pop Vocal Album for her 2025 pop opus Mayhem.
Overall, Lamar was the top winner of the night with five trophies, followed by Bad Bunny with three, and two each for Gaga, Cirkut, Kehlani, Leon Thomas, SZA, Jack Antonoff, Jelly Roll, and composer Ludwig Göransson.
Performances throughout the night included show-stopping numbers from Gaga, Rosé, Bruno Mars, a stripped-down Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter (who was slammed by PETA for including a live bird in her set), and a medley of Best New Artist nominees including Olivia Dean, Lola Young, Katseye, Sombr, and more.

In EW’s 2025 Entertainers of the Year package, recording artist Fat Joe honored Bad Bunny’s contributions to music last year, noting that the Puerto Rican superstar “isn’t just an entertainer — he’s what you call a mega star” in current culture.
“He was nominated at the Grammys in the English category, the first Spanish-speaking musician to ever do it, so that shows you his power and his influence,” said Fat Joe.
Speaking about her March 2025 album Mayhem, Gaga previously told EW that the release — particularly her single “Abracadabra” — served as a reclamation of her pop star image.
“So much of what I did with ‘Abracadabra’ was about claiming music and imagery that’s my own invention — meaning the combination of those things is my own invention, and I wanted to really own that for myself,” Gaga said. “As a woman in music, we’re often told that someone else made us who we are or somehow it didn’t come from us, that we were made that way. But this is who I am.”
